MIRC bot skins

From HLSW Wiki

HLSW mIRC bot skins are *.cfg text files that are located in your BotSkins sub directory on your HLSW installation path.

Note: If you select a new skin for mIRC Bot in the Rcon Section, the .cfg-file will automatically be new loaded from your harddrive even during the Bot is running. Therefor you don't have to restart the Bot if you work on a new skin.

Details Bot-Config File

In every row is a variable. The value of every variable stands at the end surrounded by "-Signs. Both Keys are separated by space, like in every Half-Life Modification Config. By setting "//" at the beginning comments could be inserted, which were ignored by running the Botskin. On Startup of HLSW, the program creates a Default.cfg.autocreate-file, which includes the standard-Botskin. Viewing this file will easyly show the format of programming a bot.

Example

The Kill-Message standart key is Kills and the value <PLAYER(0,0)> killed <PLAYER(1,0)> with <GREEN><ARG(0)>. In this case the <PLAYER>-Tag with the two parameters in the bracket will be replaced every time by a formatted Playername, which cannot be changed. <PLAYER(0,*)> Is the first Player <PLAYER(1,*)> the second. It depends on what kind of message, there could be 0-2 players included. <ARG(*)> stands for arguments, which are placed in the log-message.
